Happy Earth Day 🌿

Right now, this Anna’s hummingbird is sitting on her nest—woven from soft plant fibers, spider silk, and bits of moss, perfectly hidden in a tree in our garden.
It’s a reminder to slow down and notice the small, incredible lives happening all around us.
Take a moment today to look a little closer. The Earth is full of quiet magic.

Flying into 2026🕊️
This Cedar Waxwing was our final wildlife release of last year. It arrived unable to fly, but after a little TLC from our naturalists, it was ready to soar again.

Cedar Waxwings are winter visitors to the Bay Area and one of the only U.S. birds that live mostly on fruit.

In 2025, Sulphur Creek’s Wildlife Program cared for over 250 injured and orphaned animals. 💚

We'd love to hear your thoughts!

Exciting updates are coming to the Sulphur Creek Nature Center! Since 2021, we've added an outdoor classroom, amphitheater, new paths, and signage; thanks to OEEF, Measure F1, and community donors. Now, with a new parcel added and plans for the Discovery Museum underway, we’re updating the master plan to reflect what’s next.

Come to our #1 Visioning Workshop during our CAC Meeting on Monday, 6/9/25, at 6:30 pm at the District Office or join via zoom.

🌍🐾 Happy World Wildlife Day! 🦉🌿

Gray foxes are truly fascinating creatures! Their ability to climb trees sets them apart from most other canines, making them quite the agile hunters and escape artists. California’s diverse landscapes provide the perfect habitat for these clever and resourceful animals.

What’s your favorite species to celebrate today?

We’re excited to share a heartwarming rehab success story from Sulphur Creek Nature Center!

This Northern Pygmy Owl was found orphaned in summer of 2024. At just a few weeks old, this owl was unable to fend for itself and had to be hand-fed to start. Over the next two months, our team worked to help it regain strength and learn the vital skills needed to survive in the wild. After successfully completing flight and hunting skills tests, we are thrilled to announce that this owl was able to be released back into its natural habitat!

Thank you to everyone who supports our center—your support makes success stories like this possible! 💚
